The Line Moved

The line separating the rain from the snow moved during the night and we received a dusting of snow in both the front and back yards. I took this picture this morning about 5:30 when I let the dogs out.
Since then we have changed to all rain and freezing rain. The air temp is 33F, just a tad over 0C, but the wind chill is 25F(-2C). In other words, what we've got is a mess.
My missus and I will be staying home today as there is no place we have to be and nothing we have to shop for that can't be shopped for on line. She'll be logging in to her work network and spending most of the day working on reports. I plan to spend the day working on either my next book I hope to publish in the spring or my latest book I began as my NaNoWriMo project.
What sort of weather did you wake up to in your neck of the woods this morning?

@DWDavis No it's not odd, it happens several times during winter, it's a wind called Foehn, it inverts the temperature coming to the plain. If you want to know more, it's interesting

I really hope you keep your electricity. Or have a fireplace and a few 0 degree-rated mummy sleeping bags.

No snow when I first woke up, but it is snowing now with small flakes, but steadily. The ground is turning white.

What a yucky mess. I mean its cool to see it snow, but when gets like that makes you go maybe not. I remember in Marines oh it does not really snow here. First guard duty I get at 3 in the morning starts snowing. I am like this stuff only happens to me.

COLD!!! It is 12 F out. The bright side of this is that this is supposed to be the coldest morning for a few days.

We woke up to an inch or so of snow, but it's now raining.
